We worked very hard to make sure this picture would be missing something.
A maze of wires.
Because we've always felt tangled wires and cords got in the way of enjoying home video entertainment.
So we replaced them with infrared controllers that allow you the same freedom of movement as a T.V. remote controller.
We also make lots of other wireless peripherals for the Advanced Video System. Like a joystick. A combination light wand and gun. A data recorder. Even a keyboard.
In fact, the only wires you'll find are the two cords that plug the cartridge controller into the wall and into your television.

Would have sucked if they went the battery route. I couldn't have afforded all those batteries back then. Anyway, the data recorder could have been wireless if it connected to the port on the bottom of the nes like a sega cd 2.

And you'll see them on the controllers, the light gun, and other peripherals that Nintendo initially considered making wireless on the NES.

...And that's why those are not the same things shown here. =|

You really think this was supposed to be anything other than a wireless, re-cased version of an already existing Famicom peripheral?

...No, I think this was supposed to be a wireless, re-cased version of the already existing Famicom peripheral, which would have been too amazing because I don't think there ever was a home computer or console system that used a wireless cassette recorder.

But the marketing folks were probably bluffing and hoping that their crazy wishes would magically come true.
